The creation of name expressions for reference, with specific regard to Olson''s cognitive theory of semantics was studied. Human subjects were merely asked to make up names for each of a series of abstract symbols embedded in displays. In a 2nd experiment, subjects were asked to make up names to verbally distinguish between symbols in each display. Only under the 2nd procedure were the predictions of Olson''s analysis confirmed. Apparently naming, and therefore reference in general, cannot be comprehensively treated in a theory that fails to explicitly deal with referential purposes.
